As someone who has struggled with anorexia for the last 15 years, I don’t understand that desire to be sick. It’s not fun, it doesn’t look good, and it feels like a private little hell. But for the stupid fats everything is about the looks and the attention. They don’t understand the difference between making an effort to eat healthy and struggling with guilt after each (small) meal. I used to get annoyed, but now I can just laugh at them and their “disordered” eating which keeps them at 800 calories per day and somehow above 200 lbs 😁 Go figure...

They want it because “recovered anorexic” is by far the most convenient excuse to be fat. You can’t say anything about the weight of an anorexic or a former anorexic and they know it.

A recovered anorexic would NEVER let themselves go into overweight BMI. I don't even think most might be comfortable in the higher-normal.

As a recovered anorexic, can confirm. My highest BMI ever was 21 and I felt fat as shit.

I'm recovering from an eating disorder, and at my highest BMI of 22, I felt like a whale. I could never imagine letting myself get overweight.

Do they not understand that it’s a separate diagnosis BECAUSE of the low body weight that requires different treatment than an eating disorder that leaves you at a normal weight or overweight/obese?? I mean, I guess they don’t, what with all their “give me the same treatment as a thin person” shit, but...they obviously don’t need to try to refeed someone who’s 250lbs.

"Anorexia" literally is defined as not eating. Anorexia Nervosa is the compulsive fear of eating/gaining weight. Long term efforts of the AN sufferer will ultimately to become underweight. You CANNOT have this disorder and be fat.

It is also amazing to me that thermodynamics only apply to normal/underweight people and not them. No no, they nibble delicately on salad yet somehow stay obese, but the fit girl in the office they work at "needs to eat"...

Maybe call it ‘short-term anorexia,’ like not eating for half of an hour? Diagnosis based on being obese and complaining of not eating enough.

"Short term anorexia" is what my cat had when she didnt eat for 3 days due to tummy upset and had to be taken overnight for a drip. Fats never stop eating for more than half an hour anyway.

Exactly, if they truly had a restrictive ED that could possibly become AN, people would notice. Thy would drop massive amounts of weight quickly and probably look incredibly unhealthy - don’t give me that “I had anorexia but people congratulated me on my weight loss” shit. The difference between healthy weight loss and disordered eating weight loss is pretty damn obvious.

Actually, there's a segment of mental health treatment that denies that and is trying for a social diagnosis of being "underweight" for anorexia, such as having a bmi of 22 in a country with an average bmi of 26 would make a person severely underweight. The treatment I was taught for treating anorexia disgusted me.

How could they ethically force someone healthy to become unhealthy?!

Salad at McDonalds and other places are often just as unhealthy or more so because of the shit they do to the things to make them taste good. Our entire society is being poisoned by cheap tasty food that is engineered to be addicting. I hope we eventually get an FDA that works for the people's health instead of the bullshit it currently does.

Then when you combine that with the horrific fat acceptance movement we've got a recipe for absolute insanity.

Anorexia is so god damn misunderstood. They'll never understand the fear of simply brushing your teeth because of the possibility of swallowing a miniscule of toothpaste that MAY have a fraction of a calorie. Only allowing yourself to take tiny sips of water because you can feel your stomach expanding if you took that gulp that you so desperately want and need. Constantly checking your bones to make sure any fat didn't magically show up after eating that single clementine.

The public needs a PSA on wtf anorexia really is. It's not just girls/boys refusing to eat because they want to be vain and skinny.

God, I remember when I had to be hospitalized for Anorexia II was at a point where I was so paranoid that the water they gave me was somehow laced with calories, and when I realized that made absolutely no fucking sense was the moment I started taking recovery seriously. It is such a more complex disease than just "i'm fat lol", and I despise how simplistic most of the media and these cows online see it as that. To them, having a somewhat negative thought about oneself as they eat (but not enough to actually not eat, after all they deserve it for dieting so hard this week teehee!) three doughnuts for breakfast with a triple mocha latte and bacon is somehow equivalent to having a disease who's primary physical characteristic is starving yourself to death. It's fucking laughable.

It took hospitalization to snap me out of my crazed illusion. I was always questioning the food given to me. I couldn't eat a cup of broccoli if I didn't prepare it myself because I was so paranoid that someone laced it with extra calories. It's almost a survival instinct to not eat, while at the same time killing yourself to do it.

There's no rational explanation to it and fats will NEVER understand, and insulting hearing them wish for such an infliction

I don't know what 'ednos' means but I generally just call ya'll delusional. Imagine wanting to say you have an illness soooo bad that you demand the very definition of that illness be changed? I don't think I've ever heard anything quite so pathetic.

So not eating isn’t a danger to your health until it’s an actual danger to your health... imagine that! But they don’t really care about health because they won’t accept that fat is unhealthy
